Preface to Holey Doughnut

It's December, 2018 as I write this post, which I've post-dated to appear at the beginning of my blog.

I began writing this blog as a way to express how I felt about what was happening in my life and in the world. I didn’t know I’d keep it up for years. It has become a record of sorts. I could never have imagined when I began this blog that our country and the world could change so much as it has in the past two years. I don’t know what is going to happen. I could have never imagined the Natural World would be under such threat as it is from Global Warming, pollution and species extinction. I mourn the loss of little songbirds, butterflies, nudibranchs, polar bears and many many other species. I mourn the terrible wildfires in the Western U.S. I rejoice our family is thriving. I am walking through this life of ours with my dear husband Bob. We enjoy good health and keep busy and happy. The children all have good jobs and are settled in their lives. The grandchildren are healthy and happy and growing up in loving homes. They all attend very good public schools. We are greatly blessed and most days when I think about my life, I am truly grateful. This blog is for them.
